In it, Kierkegaard comments on the anonymously published Danish novel \u003ci\u003eTwo Ages\u003c\/i\u003e, which contrasts the mentality of the age of the French Revolution with that of the subsequent epoch of rationalism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kierkegaard commends the author's shrewdness, and his critique builds on the novel's view of the two generations. With keen prophetic insight, Kierkegaard foresees the birth of an impersonal cultural wasteland, in which the individual will either be depersonalized or obliged to find an existence rooted in \"equality before God and equality with all men.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This edition, like all in the series, contains substantial supplementary material, including a historical introduction, entries from Kierkegaard's journals and papers, and the preface and conclusion of the original novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Søren Kierkegaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Kierkegaard's Writings #14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.55h x 5.96w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691140766","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711201677449,"sku":"9780691140766","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_b091bdaf-4e04-43e5-9a24-014d7d3d7783.jpg?v=1719564001","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/kierkegaards-writings-xiv-volume-14-two-ages-the-age-of-revolution-and-the-present-age-a-literary-review-9780691140766","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
